Uterine prolapse

A uterine prolapse is a condition where uterus is slipping down to vaginal passage.

This happens when the ligaments of the uterus are stretched due to weakness in the pelvic floor.

The staging of prolapse is classified by the position of the cervix and uterus:- Grade 0: cervix at normal position- Grade I: cervix halfway to the introitus/hymen- Grade II: cervix at the introitus/hymen- Grade III: cervix extends outside of the vaginal introitus with straining- Grade IV: cervix extends outside of the vaginal introitus all the time.

This is also known as procidentia.
